TP-LINK TL-WN725N -> TP-LINK TL-WR740N doesn't work

I've bought a WiFi stick (TP-LINK TL-WN725N) to my PC in order to move my workplace (there is no no cable accessibility). It didn't work until I added the following lines to my NetworkManager.conf:

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

Also I have a WiFi router (TP-LINK TL-WR740N). However,  I can't connect to it form my PC (all other devices have no problems with that).  I thought it was about my WiFi sticker,  but It has no problem to connect to my phone!

My phone is "Intex Aqua Fishqqaa", "NoDeepStreet" is my router name.

My dmesg spams:

I don't understand: what does it need??

I'm sorry. It was my last time.

Gave up to wired connection back...

Re: TP-LINK TL-WN725N -> TP-LINK TL-WR740N doesn't work

Try this :

ls /etc/modprobe.d/

i have the same card. if you have the driver/module installed there should be a file named 50-8188xx.conf
if you have it, do this:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/50-8188xx.conf

Chances are it says blacklisted something ,  delete all of that.

if you dont have the module then you should not see the file. You will have to go here: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new

download zip, extract it, then go to the folder and do this:

sudo pacman -S linux-headers
make && sudo make install

then reboot, if you still have no network, go to the folder again /etc/modprobe.d and edit the file , removing the blacklist this wont work
